Artist Statement

When I paint, I notice everything; a fold of a fabric, and if wet, how it hugs the body. A shadow is as important as the object casting it.I love the way light reflects on the surface of the water but the water remains translucent. I enjoy mixing an element of textiles into my paintings to form new shapes and colors. My latest body of work has been focused on figures immersed in water. Water patterns fascinate me, my colorful long loose brush strokes are visible in my work to convey motion.The human body is my favorite to paint. I try not to be too realistic but somewhat impressionist. My oil paintings are inspired from my photos.I create beautiful moments and paint from that.

Heads Up, 2016
